PK Subban for Nail Yakupov

Oilers would love to add PK Subban. Giving up Yakupov before he even plays a season? Not a chance. After watching him, I feel very comfortable saying the kid has 50 goal potential. Wasnt he right up with the KHL leaders in GPG, even with limited icetime and poor linemates?

Not a deal I would entertain as an Oilers fan. Give the kid a couple seasons and I think his value will be sky high.

they dont have to be as long as they can hold their own and put up similar stats.
Petry proved that he could play the tough minutes, can hit, can block shot.
J.Schultz has proven that he can be a decent option on the PP. We are fine with these 2 plus N.Schultz rounding off the right side.

MTL fans tend to bash on the unproven prospects until the wonder boy Galchenyuk is borught up. Trade Galy for Fowler or Gardiner if puck movers are that valuable.

Galchenyuk *is* unproven. That said, Galchenyuk is another breed of hard-to-find commodity i.e., top-line playmaking center...or rather, he is projected to be one in the future. Montreal is likely to hold on to him and groom him as a future no.1 center.

The Habs already have a better version of those players. Why would they do that?

how about elite scoring wingers? Assuming you are a DAL fan.. would you trade Eriksson for a puck moving Dman (Fowler?)? Yakupov is projected to be much better than Loui.

EDM needs a Fistric to round out the D more than a Subban who will cost an arm and a leg.

Yakupov is NOT an elite scoring winger unless he proves to be one at the NHL level.

Also, you need to calm down and stop acting ******** over nothing. I am not putting down EDM or Yakupov at all. I am merely stating that Bergevin will hold on to Subban (and Galchenyuk) because that's the better option for their organization. If they lose Subban, then they have to rely on Markov, whose status is still unclear and last I checked, no team is handing out PMDs like candy (do you?). Even we overpaid to keep our existing PMD in Goligoski. I am keeping this strictly about MTL and MTL alone. Get it?

To answer your rhetorical question: I am NOT going to deal Eriksson for Fowler. No, not even for Yakupov who is (ready for this?) still an unproven commodity. Had you mentioned any other WELL-ESTABLISHED PMD with as much miles as Eriksson, then I would have definitely considered. Fowler clearly is not that player yet.
